Commercial Accountant (Renewable Energy)

Job Description

Behind every strong business decision is a sharp accountant. Ready to be that person? You're not the kind of Accountant who wants to just process and move on. You take ownership, ask questions and enjoy understanding the "why" behind the numbers. Detail matters to you, but so does the bigger picture. You're comfortable working independently, thrive under deadlines and bring a calm, structured approach to a fast-paced environment. You're equally confident rolling up your sleeves and stepping into a more commercial, decision-influencing space. This role blends financial and management accounting, giving you exposure across the full finance function. You'll take ownership of month-end reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, accruals and variance analysis, while ensuring tax compliance including VAT submissions. Beyond that, you'll get involved in cost analysis, budgeting input, stock control oversight and supporting operational teams with meaningful financial insights. You will enjoy this because your work won't just be reporting history, it will shape decisions and improve performance across the business. You'll join a growing, multi-entity organisation operating across SA within a technically driven and project-focused industry. The team is young, energetic and highly dedicated, with a strong work ethic balanced by a social and collaborative culture. Expect a professional, deadline-driven finance environment during the week, with a more relaxed and connected atmosphere as the team unwinds together. Their offices are based in Stellenbosch. There is currently 1 day work from home and flexible working hours.
